LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The #36 ranked Grand Valley State men's tennis team dominated the Knights of Bellarmine University in way to a 9-0 victory. The win pushes the Lakers to 11-4 on the season with GLIAC competition starting up in one week. 

In singles competition, the Lakers dropped a combined 3 sets to the Knights and won the other 48 sets played (Bellarmine forfeited the #5 and #6 singles matches). Out of the No. 1 spot, sophomore Sebastian Lescoulie won his matchup against Lauren de Boeck by a score of 6-1, 6-0.
